The outlet side of the pump is pressurized and where the pressure switch is. The inlet side is not pressurized and if air is leaking in thru a bad connection then when first turned on the air will show up and then clear up (maybe) but when the faucet is closed the pressure builds up and the pump shuts off... And as long as there is not a leak on the pressurized side it will stay off.
